Kokopelli - Welded Steel & Cedar

“The inspiration for this sculpture came from petroglyphs I found in the canyons on the Navajo Reservation. When I was a young boy, it was my job to herd the sheep and look for fire wood, that’s when I first saw the rock art. Kokopelli holds a cedar flute. There are many stories about Kokopelli, the most common is that he is a symbol of fertility."

Soaring Eagle - Welded Steel

“I sculpt sacred beings made by the Creator to remind us of their existence. Each sculpture is a tribute to harmony and creation. The Eagle is a messenger to the Creator. The lightning design in its body represents life that comes from the thunderstorms and rain.”

Sea Turtle - Welded Steel

“The turtle started as a dream. I saw it with a fire behind it, so decided to make it into a fireplace screen. This piece took me two years to finish and was the first sculpture where I cut, shaped and applied pieces to the base form. It reminded me of my silverwork – just on a much larger scale. The work reminded me of the strength of the turtle. It may be slow, but it always get where it needs to go.”

Pack of Running Wolves - Welded Steel

“ I wanted to create a sculpture that showed wolves the way they appear in nature — traveling in a pack. I made them movable so the leader and grouping can change, just like in nature. This sculpture also reminds me of the freedom wolves have, and what I hope to attain, for myself and Native Peoples as a whole.”
